Federal Judicial Nominations: What to Expect in the Next Administration
Rio Grande Foundation is hosting (along with New Mexico’s Federalist Society chapter) our final luncheon event of 2024. Details below:
This event is co-hosted with the New Mexico Federalist Society.Nicholas Ganjei is Chief Counsel to U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Constitution. This committee is certain to be at the center of efforts by either a Republican or Democrat administration to shape the federal judiciary over the next presidential term. The next four years could see Supreme Court vacancies or dozens of circuit and district court judge vacancies across the nation, which will profoundly impact the administration of law in the United States. You don’t want to miss this informative talk by a Capitol Hill insider detailing the politics, policy, and strategy that go into the nomination of judicial nominees, as well as what we can expect in the next presidential term.
